Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Round Rock murder: New details released in stabbing (fox7austin.com) — Round Rock residents are learning more about the Labor Day stabbing that left 62-year-old Andrew Wimsatt dead in a neighborhood park off Chandler Creek Boulevard. Newly filed court documents describe how surveillance video, a nearby palm print, and a search of a home less than a mile away led detectives to suspect Benedict Ogbodiegwu, who is now charged with murder.
2. Which Texas schools produced the most Merit semifinalists for 2027 (lmtonline.com) — Round Rock High School stands out statewide with 20 students named National Merit Scholarship semifinalists for 2027, placing it among Texas' top-performing schools. These students now compete for prestigious scholarships, reflecting the strength of local academics and giving Round Rock families a reason to celebrate their high school's performance on the PSAT-based program.
3. Here's where Flock has camera contracts in Central Texas (kxan.com) — Round Rock is one of eight Central Texas cities still using Flock automated license plate reader cameras, even as several nearby communities have ended or paused their contracts over privacy and data concerns. State funding for the cameras has been blocked, and more cities are reconsidering the technology, so any future Round Rock decisions could affect local policing and surveillance in your neighborhoods.
4. Who'll win Round Rock vs Dripping Springs? Week 3 high school football picks (statesman.com) — Round Rock football fans can see how the Dragons stack up as they host Dripping Springs in a high-scoring Week 3 matchup, where all three American-Statesman pickers narrowly favor the Tigers. The preview also breaks down other key Central Texas games, including Westlake-Proper and Lake Travis-Steele, offering context on how Round Rock's early-season form compares regionally.
